New guy in Nashville.

Purchased my first GTO this past weekend(pic coming.

I've got 3 old cars that I try to daily and needed something I could leave in a parking garage or somewhere I can't see it.

My sunny day car is a 69 Corvette with a ZZ4, Tremec 5spd, and vintage air. I've got a 50K mile LQ4 waiting to be installed. Will do a terminator max x. Still gathering intake, accessory drive, and cam/kit.

I've also got a fully custom 51 Ford. It's on bags, with a mustang ii front end. Just a 5.0 crate motor and AOD trans. Real nice car with 30+ custom body features. Let me know if anyone wants more pics of either.

I'm currently in the throws of building a K5 Blazer. I had a Suburban that was fully built but developed some rust issues while it was being neglected. Decided to part it out and build a K5. It's 75% done but don't have a current pic. 5.3, truckasaurus cam, Holley term max x, 4L80e, etc... Should be a real nice truck when done. Feel free to ask anything. Here's a pic on the way to have some rock sliders made.

Now on to the Goat.

Ended up with a 2005 M6 in Torrid Red.

402 stroker with Callies crank and rods, wiseco pistons. Built by LME.

LS6 heads by livernois, cam, fast intake, kooks long tubes and catless mids, spin tech cat back, svede otrcai, Stout clutch(model tbd), one piece driveshaft, axles(model tbd). Looks like eibqch springs and koni shocks/struts. Tick clutch stuff, short shifter(don't love it, not sure brand, maybe b&m but has a Hurst knob), some kind of solid motor mounts. Still figuring out some stuff and if it's been changed.

The car seems pretty sorted and fairly nice. Only thing I noticed not working is cruise. It turns on but doesn't seem to set the speed. Got 25mpg on the way home on the interstate. Gets around 5mpg around town. 😂

I'll add some more pics if y'all want, but if you've seen one, you've seen them all.

Nice which area of Nashville? I work in Memphis. Nashville has grown a lot

There are a number of goats up there or was. And plenty of places to let them out. Or again was.

I'm on the west side. It's nice for cars because we don't have much crime compared to the rest of the county. Due to that, most of the time, we don't have much in the way of patrols. There may or may not be two new black marks in multiple intersections around the hood. 😂 Impressed with how strong this set up comes on. Starting to plan my parts hoard for future failures. I hope to keep this thing going for a few years. Hard to beat the HP/$ equation with these cars right now.

Thanks guys. I'll add some more pics of my small collection.

So far I've been ordering maintenance items. Have spark plugs and every fluid in the car on the way. The AEM wideband sensor was bad so got that changed and noticed a bolt out of the mid pipe. I knew it had a slight exhaust leak and sounds like that bolt addressed the issue.

Here's an underhood pic to hold you over for more pics of the fleet.
